America is the most free country in the world?
2 million Americans are in prison right now. That's 1 in every 150 people. America has more people in prison now than any other country in the world has ever had or currently has. Not even in Soviet Russia under Stalin's regime were there ever that many people in the Soviet gulags. Yet you expect me to believe America is land of the free????? Anyone in the government can tap my cell phone and listen in legally, yet I am free???? The government can legally keep records of what books people check out at the library, yet I am free???? Hell, the government can legally hack into my computer and see what I have used the computer for, yet I am free???? Here's my real question though. Why do Americans keep voting for leaders who destroy our freedoms???? We are, after all, a democracy. We vote for our leaders, and we continue to vote for leaders who want to take our freedoms away. This country is hopeless. Everything we ever stood for is gone. It's hopeless. I am never going to get involved ever again. I'm never going to vote, serve, or do anything for this country ever again. I'm just going to stand back and watch as people tear each other apart.

it is economically free, not socially free. you are free to be racist though because they call that freedom of speech, but if you say that u.s. troops are murderers then all of a sudden, your freedom of speech is not so protected. if you do something wrong in america, you can count on getting punished severely. it is also what is known as a fascist, authoritarian country. anyone who has been through an american airport will see exactly how free americans are. most americans are scared to question authority and believe that they should be restricted. americans vote for leaders who restrict their civil liberties because americans dont like freedom and want to be told what to do and how to think. just think back to when you were in elementary school. did they ever ask you whether or not you wanted to say the pledge of allegiance? no. they just told you to do it. americans are brain washed from the day they are born to think they are free, but also accept and obey very strict rules. take a look at this video and you will see americans being tortured in prisons. the most vulnerable people in america are the mentally handicapped. most cops who beat people up are never convicted of any crime.

i don't agree that the two the U. S. or the united kingdom are the main "unfastened" countries in the worldwide. All you need to do is attempt to get into the U. S. to be certain how "unfastened" that's now. the united kingdom (by employing the way, we are a constitutional monarchy, not a republic) is gradually becoming a "Nanny State". we've become swamped by employing place of work work and law on ridiculously insignificant issues, and over-the-exact well being and risk-free practices concerns preclude many classic hobbies in wearing on or make it impossibly high priced. A democracy we'd be, yet we are approximately to have a significant Minister take ability that none human beings ever voted for. As with "democratic" politics in any usa, that's persons that community and grow to be regularly going on that defend the severe places of work, and that's certainly in many circumstances a function of money and effect. In my journey of travelling, i could say that New Zealand is the "freest" usa I even have ever visited, a approaches previous the liberty afforded to human beings in Europe - heavily accompanied by employing Australia (besides the actuality that i've got observed differences even here those days). the sole genuine answer is to discover a wasteland island someplace !

I hear you.
But really at this point everything is hopeless.
We are just 3 years away from what could be an apocalypse.
What do you think NWO will do with us when people start to panic?
Maybe they'll throw us in those death camps FEMA's been setting up?
Problems like that make bitching about "democracy" look pretty petty huh?

That stance will not change anything.
Quitters never win.
Winners never quit.
Don't get offended, stand up and give your support to our wonderful country. There will always be something wrong but it takes dedication to change the tide.
America is not hopeless, you are hopeless, because you are not praying. Pray and the Lord will show you what to do.
